I'm sure i'm opening myself up for some long explanations about how bad spam is etc. but what the heck.

I received the canvas spam......So what..get over it

I get a depressingly large number of ads for viagra. I'm only 19. How could they possibly know?......

Trust me, it's obvious.

And I thought I was so good at hiding it... Maybe I should just admit defeat and get an allotment... Or maybe sell bondage gear via the internet...

Falcon, none taken .

My e-mail has not been hacked from this site and it wan't last time either.

Am I right in thinking the people receiving this spam also got it from the "bushcraft magazine"?

If so the addresses were probably harvested a while ago and there is nothing that can now be done to stop them being used.

Spam filter them out.

This guy obviously has delusions of adequacy if he thinks we want to listen to his snivelling.

Dont think I did.

And for the record I subscribed to all three magazines. When these subscriptions end that’s when I will make my decision on which ones I'll will subscribe to again.

And me....

I got the spams too but I've not subscribed to the magazine. I think maybe the link is those like me that use the setting to be alerted by e-mail for pm's from other members.

I to got the email, but Im not notified by email for anything but still got it.
I have to say providing I don't get a virus through it or such like, it doesn't really bother me.

I would be furious about this spam email and would take it a lot further if it wasn't for the fact that I am in the middle of organising a $2 million transfer of funds from a bank in Nigeria.........

Thanks Scytale. I just nearly fell off my chair. :You_Rock_

It's only easy to harvest emails from people who don't keep them secure. I run many websites and I display my email address and those of clients. They don't get harvested because we encode them. I get maybe one spam email a day if that and even spammers don't send me all their other email adresses in the cc.

How do you encode an address please Tenbears? So far the only way I've found to avoid spam is to have separate addresses for family, work , & several for the internet that I can abandon once they get too spammed.

I received the lastest email. I did not receive the spam mail from the magazine though.


I'm not that upset about it. I was relevant to me ie concerned BCUK so i opened it and then deleted it. No big deal.

I couldnt agree more. I got the same email and read and deleted it.
What I dont understand is the "history" as I am on here lots but never heard about this conflict of interests.

just read this thread right through and it just sounds like a sh**stirrer to me.

 

[bogflogger]

I do not know why we are wasting braincells over this deluded saddo. He feels that it is perfectly ok to hack the email adress list here, steal a Company's email adress to use, admit to doing so and giving a highly skewed personal take on events, to people he has sent unsolicited email to. Smart move mate!

I agree and it seems to have work.

I received the e-mail, have had nothing to do with the magazine, and just joined somewhere about the first of the year.

I guess I didn't get too bent about it. Just hit the "spam" button on my e-mail so I won't get anymore messages from this fella.

[pierre girard]

I never get spam.
I feel SO unwanted and unloved!

I suppose we could all get together and send you some! :BlueTeamE

Hi I got the same e-mail. Firstly this magazine, has anyone read it and if so is it any good. Secondly I'm sure I've seen this magazine on this site, I may be mistaken. Thirdly I'd just like to say that if bcuk had sent me an e-mail like this I would be fine with that, but since it obviously wasn't them and just some divvy pretending to be tony by the sounds of it then that pi££es me off a bit but not to much that I want to rant and rave about it Sh*t Happens. Also would someone like to elaborate on the RM takes legal action piece of the email, it's got me intrigued.

I just looked again and I found the magazine on the site. Now is this the same magazine that the e-mail is promoting.

feel left out now as i did not get the spam.
